Periodic Reporting for period 1 - IMMQUIRE (INTEGRATED MECHANICS FOR MODULAR QUANTUM RECONFIGURABLE CIRCUITS)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2021-04-12 al 2023-04-11
Specific objectives are a) developing a mechanically reconfigurable PIC platform designed to b) strain-tune transferred diamond spin defects into spectral alignment, and c) reconfigure PICs for spin interaction and quantum logic.
We started investigating a new type of color center in silicon with telecommunication wavelength operation, and demonstrated waveguide and cavity integration. Using the new silicon color centers, we demonstrated optical tuning of their operation wavelength. We have designed and we are in the process of fabrication and integration of devices for strain tuning of color centers in silicon and diamond.
Our chips contain designs for quantum interference from color centers, which would lead to entanglement. Testing is underway.
